    Hi Sangita,


    I took another look at the early HTML, and I think the later versions of
    the menu bar work better, partially it's different in both color and size
    from the master panel and the other windows. I felt that the text was too
    small and the bar and menus not obvious enough; for me at least it didn't
    provide enough of a cue that it was indeed a menu bar.

    But if I understand Nadine correctly, the reason she changed the pulldowns
    was so that they would be compatible with literally all modern browsers;
    there was a problem with IE on the Mac not displaying the pulldowns
    correctly, which she addressed by changing the pulldowns from variable to
    fixed length.

    Seeing as I liked Nadine's first menus implementation a little better, I'm
    _almost_ in support of the first ones, even if we lose a bit of
    cross-browser, cross-platform functionality. What do you think?
